THE SUPREME JUDGE.
A Mild Boom in Favor of Judge
Howell E. jackson, of Tennes-

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-Judge How
ell E. Jackson, of Tennessee, is the
man now mentioned for the vacancy on
the supreme bench. 1t is said by one
who has aspirations for the same posi-
tod: "Judge Jackson is a vigorous
worker. Lamar is not. Jackson is an
experienced lawyer, Lamar is not.
Jackson is a practical man, Lamar is
theorlst. Jackson is wide awake, La
mar is dreamer. The president likes
Lamar, and intended him for the su-
preme court few weeks ago. He has
changed his mind, after listening to
party friends, and will be more than
likely to appoint Judge Jackson. You
remember he took jackson out of the
senate to make him a United States
Judge, because he found actual legal
ability to be scarce. He is now likely to
put him on the bench of the supreme
court, because there is no better man
available, and he must have ability
there. No drone or dreamer can live on
the bench, except as an obstructionist.
Jackson is the coming man for the po-
sitiOn.'
